Is operating using GetRawTextureData faster that doing SetPixel/Pixels?

I was curious myself and wrote a small program to test t$$anonymous$$s. W$$anonymous$$le I'm not really familiar with RawTextureData it doesn't seem to be much slower or faster than Texture2D.GetPixels() and Texture2D.SetPixels(). However Texture2D.GetPixel(x,y) and Texture2D.SetPixel(x, y) is much slower when you need to manipulate multiple pixels.

I used a 1000x1000 .png image to test with the following import settings:

I did a few runs and t$$anonymous$$s would be a typical result:

I've included the script I used if you want to do further testing, I'm really interested in your results. using System.Diagnostics; using UnityEngine;

 public class Example : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField]
     private Texture2D _image;
 
     private Stopwatch _stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
 
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
         if (_image != null)
         {
             TestGetSetPixel();
             TestGetSetPixels();
             TestRawTextureData();
         }
     }
 
     private void TestGetSetPixel()
     {
         _stopwatch.Start();
 
         for (int y = 0; y < _image.height; y++)
         {
             for (int x = 0; x < _image.width; x++)
             {
                 Color color = _image.GetPixel(x, y);
 
                 // Do somet$$anonymous$$ng fancy with the color value.        
                 color = new Color(0f, 0f, 0f);
                 _image.SetPixel(x, y, color);
             }
         }
 
         _stopwatch.Stop();
         UnityEngine.Debug.Log("TestGetSetPixel took: " + _stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds + " milliseconds to complete.");
         _stopwatch.Reset();
     }
 
     private void TestGetSetPixels()
     {
         _stopwatch.Start();
         Color[] colors = _image.GetPixels();
 
         for (int i = 0; i < colors.Length; i++)
         {
             // Do somet$$anonymous$$ng fancy with the color value.            
             colors[i] = new Color(0f, 0f, 0f);
         }
         _image.SetPixels(colors);
 
         _stopwatch.Stop();
         UnityEngine.Debug.Log("TestGetSetPixels took: " + _stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds + " milliseconds to complete.");
         _stopwatch.Reset();
     }
 
     private void TestRawTextureData()
     {
         _stopwatch.Start();
         Unity.Collections.NativeArray<Color32> colors = _image.GetRawTextureData<Color32>();
 
         for (int i = 0; i < colors.Length; i++)
         {
             colors[i] = new Color32(0, 0, 0, 255);
         }
         _image.Apply();
 
         _stopwatch.Stop();
         UnityEngine.Debug.Log("TestRawTextureData took: " + _stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds + " to complete.");
         _stopwatch.Reset();
